I have a question about that "at the beginning of your upkeep" part. Does this effect remains as aura too? Since we have only - "enchanted creature gets +3/+3 and flying" and usually in such cases they add something like "and this ability". Also I can't remember auras with global effects that affects something except enchanted creature or aura.
Yes, it does continue to cost you a life even if it is in aura form.
Like Boon Satyr, he is a decent creature by it's own, with a high bestow cost.
Might see some play now, but he might shine on rotation, taking the Specter place if MonoB devotion still a thing.
He reminds me of Moroii with his P/T equaling his CMC and draining for 1 each turn and flying. I would like to think that these stats are good enough for Standard, but I would not really know.
He's a bulked-up black Nimbus Naiad with a minor draw-back, and Nimbus Naiad is first-pickable in draft.
For constructed, the only place he might fit is in Rakdos aggro. No bestowing, just a flying 3/3 on turn 3. Still, I suspect most R/x aggro decks would prefer to drop a Reckoner on turn 3.

why couldnt they just give us Moroii huh?! Why all these "almost as good but will never actually be as good as we think they are" cards. Give me the real thing. The three slot is so full right now its not funny, and four has almost nothing playable.

I think this might be a sleeper if not this standard but possibly next. Seems decent and is definitely a limited bomb, part of me says this card will be played in std...
I may play this over Nightveil Spector cause:
-It hits harder
-easier to cast when mutuvualt is on the field turn 3
-I can bestow (can't be countered I think) it on grey merchant or mutuavualt late game for tricky play against control decks like UW.
I pre-orded this card as I think it is a serious sleeper. Loosing one life is miniscule. When playing black; life is a resource!
I keep seeing people want to Bestow things on not-always-creatures, you guys know it falls off after it changes into a non-creature. It becomes an Aura with Enchant Creature.
I know it just becomes a creature of it's own when it falls off.
Is it worth the extra mana and wait to get this one boost? Sure, if you draw it T5 and want to make it a 5/5 flyer for one turn. But if you have it turn 3 or 4, isn't think better off being played on it's own?
Another obvious Limited bomb; I love this guy. That bestow for 5 is really great, too.
Could this possibly be viable in constructed? Thoughts?

I was hoping it gave the enchanted creature that ability, too...nothing like killing a player at 1 by pumping up his best creature.

You could play Duskmantle Seer...
It blocks Nightveil Specter pretty good!

It can be countered like any other spell if you use the bestow mode. When Mutavault stops being a creature, it will "fall off".
I thought it stuck as +1+1 counter do? I just read the Bestow mechanic; you are right as it is being "casted". Damn.

I dont think he meant to bestow mutavaults, only that it produces colorless, and nightveil specter requires 3 colored
I really do want to Bestow on Mutuvault to swing for 5 flying. Hopefully repeatable.

"Reveal a Dragon"
7 land required?
But yes, being able to reliably cast it with Mutavault is a nice reason to run it. Pain Seer and this go a long way to making Black-aggro viable.
